Compare Pulcify and Connecteam for security workforce management. SIA compliance, facial recognition, and integrated payroll.
Connecteam is a popular general-purpose workforce management tool with 435K+ monthly visitors. But it was built for retail, restaurants, and field services — not SIA-regulated security operations. Pulcify is purpose-built for compliance-critical teams in the UK security industry.
Pulcify uses facial recognition with liveness detection to prevent buddy punching and ghost employees. Connecteam relies on basic GPS clock-ins with no biometric verification — a critical gap for BS7858-vetted security sites.
Pulcify automatically verifies every guard's SIA licence on book-on, sends WhatsApp expiry alerts, and generates audit-ready compliance reports. Connecteam has no SIA awareness — you'd need a separate system for licence management.
Pulcify's timesheets feed directly into payroll and client invoicing. Connecteam requires third-party payroll integrations, adding cost and complexity for multi-site security operations.
Ask Pulcify's AI: "Which guards have SIA licences expiring this month?" or "Show me overtime across all sites." Connecteam has no AI assistant for real-time operational queries.

Pulcify is purpose-built for compliance-critical, deskless industries — security, facilities management, hospitality and healthcare. SIA licence verification, BS 7858 vetting, facial-recognition check-in and audit-grade incident reporting are core product, not paid add-ons. Teams evaluating Connecteam for UK security operations typically shortlist Pulcify when licence compliance and proof of presence matter as much as rostering.
